Please bring this Booklet to the Town Meeting This booklet contains the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to be held in the Veterans Auditorium of North Andover Middle School on Saturday, April 25, 1981 at 1:30 p.m. It also contains the recommendations of your Advisory Committee. At the Annual Town Meeting~ decisions will be made on how much money and for what purposes Town Officers~ Boards and Committees will have to spend; on proposed changes to the Town's Zoning and other by-laws; and on other proposed matters relative to how the town should be governed. If you are a registered voter in the Town of North Andover, your vote will be counted at this meeting to amend, adopt or reject articles contained in the Town Warrant. Report of the Advisory Committee Town Meeting, April 25, 1981 FELLOW VOTERS OF NORTH ANDOVER: Over the last few years State mandates and laws have been passed that make the job of recommending budgets and articles increasingly more difficult. During the last two years we had to cope with the 4% Tax Cap, but even that had an escape valve in that the vote of the Annual Town Meeting could override the limitation. This year, with the passage of Proposition 2½, we face an entirely different situation in that the Town Meeting does not have the opportunity to increase the amount of money that can be raised or appropriated. We have expended the total dollar amount available, and we have allocated it to the different Town Departments for their budgets and articles. Some budgets over which we have no control, the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, Essex County Retirement, and Group Insurance have increased by$152,500. It is imperative that we have a large turnout at this year's Town Meeting that is representative of the interests of the whole town and not just those with a vested interest. We request that you support the recommendations of your Advisory Committee, who have spent numerous hours reviewing budgets and articles with Department Heads, who have been most understanding of the limitations placed on us. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Administrative Assistant, the Selectmen, the Department Heads, and all the elected and appointed boards and their staffs for their cooperation, without which our job would have been impossible.

We have recommended evaluation of two different spending levels for 1982 given the uncertainties of Proposition 2~. Our forecast for 1983 and beyond simply reflects the requests of the various department as presented. The low recommendation for 1982 is what we would regard as an absolute minimum; the "normal" is stringent but more liberal. We would like to point out that, in our opinion, some of the Capital items reviewed should more properly be budget items. We hope our forecast is useful in your deliberations.

Veterans Memorial Auditorium North Andover Middle School Recommendations of the Advisory Committee are reported in this booklet. Please bring this Booklet to the Town Meeting This booklet contains the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to be held in the Veterans Auditorium of North Andover Middle School on Saturday~ April 25, 1981 at 1:30 p.m. It also contains the recommendations of your Advisory Committee. At the Annual Town Meeting, decisions will be made on how much money and for what purposes Town Officers~ Boards and Committees wilt have to spend; on proposed changes to the Town's Zoning and other by-laws; and on other proposed matters relative to how the town should be governed. If you are a registered voter in the Town of North Andover~ your vote will be counted at this meeting to amend, adopt or reject articles contained in the Town Warrant. Report of the Advisory Committee Town Meeting, April 25, 1981 FELLOW VOTERS OF NORTH ANDOVER: Over the last few years State mandates and laws have been passed that make the job of recommending budgets and articles increasingly more difficult. During the last two years we had to cope with the. 4% Tax Cap, but even that had an escape valve in that the vote of the Annual Town Meeting could override the limitation. This year, with the passage of Proposition 2½, we face an entirely different situation in that the Town Meeting does not have the opportunity to increase the amount of money that can be raised or eppropriated. We have expended the total dollar amount available, and we have allocated it to the different Town Departments for their budgets and articles. Some budgets over which we have no control, the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, Essex County Retirement, and Group Insurance have increased by$152,500. It is imperative that we have a large turnout at this year's Town Meeting that is representative of the interests of the whole town and not just those with a vested interest. We request that you support the recommendations of your Advisory Committee, who have spent numerous hours reviewing budgets and articles with Department Heads, who have been most understanding-of the limitations placed on us. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Administrative Assistant, the Selectmen, the Department Heads, and all the elected and appointed boards and their staffs for their cooperation, without which our job would have been impossible.

We have recommended evaluation of two different spending levels for 1982 given the uncertainties of Proposition 2½. Our forecast for 1983 and beyond simply reflects the requests of the various department as presented. The low recommendation for 1982 is what we would regard as an absolute minimum; the "normal" is stringent but more liberal. We would like to point out that, in our opinion, some of the Capital items reviewed should more properly be budget items. We hope our forecast is useful in your deliberations.

Please bring this Booklet to the Town Meeting This booklet contains the warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to be held in the Veterans Auditorium of North Andover Middle School on Saturday, April 25, 198% at 1:30 p.m. It also contains the recommendations of your Advisory Committee. At the Annual Town Meeting~ decisions will be made on how much money and for what purposes Town Officers, Boards and Committees will have to spend; on proposed changes to the Town's Zoning and other by-laws; and on other proposed matters relative %o how %he town should be governed. If you are a registered voter in the Town of North Andover, your vote will be counted at this meeting to amend, adopt or reject articles contained in the Town Warrant. Report of the Advisory Committee Town Meeting, April 25, 1981 FELLOW VOTERS OF NORTH ANDOVER: Over the last few years State mandates and laws have been passed that make the job of recommending budgets and articles increasingly more difficult. During the last two years we had to cope with the 4% Tax Cap, but even that had an escape valve in that the vote of the Annual Town Meeting could override the limitation. This year, with the passage of Proposition 2½, we face an entirely different situation in that the Town Meeting does not have the opportunity to increase the amount of money that can be raised or ~ppropriated. We have expended the total dollar amount available, and we have allocated it to the different Town Departments for their budgets and articles. Some budgets over which we have no control, the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District, Essex County Retirement, and Group Insurance have increased by$152,500. It is imperative that we have a large turnout at this year's Town Meeting that is representative of the interests of the whole town and not just those with a vested interest. We request that you support the recommendations of your Advisory C°mmittee, who have spent numerous hours reviewing budgets and articles with Department Heads, who have been most understanding of the limitations placed on us. The Advisory Committee wishes to thank the Administrative Assistant, the Selectmen, the Department Heads, and all the elected and appointed boards and their staffs for their cooperation, without which our job would have been impossible.

We have recommended evaluation of two different spending levels for 1982 given the uncertainties of Proposition 2~. Our forecast for 1983 and beyond simply reflects the requests of the various department as presented. The low recommendation for 1982 is what we would regard as an absolute minimum; the "normal" is stringent but more liberal. We would like to point out that, in our opinion, some of the Capital items reviewed should more properly be budget items. We hope our forecast is useful in your deliberations. Sincerely, CAP~TJAL BUDGET COMMITTEE Walter Ensdorf John Lyons James V. McAloon, Jr. Joseph Willis ALL SCHOOL DEPT.
